Highlights
What We Love
- A charming hotel in large manicured grounds dating to the 1700s
- Several top-notch restaurants and great bar overlooking the gardens
- Heated swimming pool, and pillow and duvet menus for perfect sleep
When To Visit
Peak Season: October to April
Summer is lovely time to enjoy the pool and make the most of alfresco dining at the neighbouring wine estates.
Green Season: May to September
Winter is ideal for warming up next to blazing fireplaces and finding new vintages in cosy cellars.
Overview
Set in sprawling grounds in the leafy Constantia wine valley, The Alphen has a storied history going back centuries that includes running the oldest mill in Cape Town and offering accommodation to famous author Mark Twain and swashbuckling Captain Cook. Today the Dower House and Mill Range make up a refined boutique hotel and spa for guests who want to have access to all Cape Town’s sites but stay in a quiet neighbourhood also known for its paddocks and horse stables.
Rooms are airy with quiet tones to provide peaceful havens after busy days out. The Alphen has several restaurants with occasional live music events. For true pampering, select your preferred options on the extensive pillow and duvet menu before you arrive!
